Cllr McAveety has praised the latest cash boost, which will help resurface more than 81km of streets and 80km of pavements.

He said: “This is good news for the people of Glasgow who deserve decent walking, cycling and driving surfaces. It's a substantial amount of money linked to a package of improvements works.

“The cash will allow us to reach beyond the city centre into our communities and neighbourhoods to target improvements to residential streets and paths. We also hope that it will encourage more active travel by our city’s citizens.

“But this is also a practical programme to spend additional cash today which will lead to even bigger dividends later. Already our roads investment programme has led to a massive reduction in complaints about potholes and accident claims against the council.

"This is a win-win situation for all Glaswegians when council budgets are already under huge strain.”
